Follow the steps described below to configure the centralized licensing feature in a network with all master controllers.

1.

Ensure that the controllers that will use this feature are associated with the same AirWave server.

2.

Identify a controller you want to designate as the primary licensing server. If that controller already has a redundant backup controller, that backup controller will automatically become the backup license server.

3.

(Optional) If your primary licensing server does not yet have a dedicated, redundant backup controller and you want to use a backup server with the centralized licensing feature, you must identify a second controller to use as the backup licensing server, and create a virtual router on the primary licensing server.

4.

(Optional) Establish secure IPsec tunnels between the primary licensing server controller and the licensing client controllers by enabling control plane security on that cluster of master controllers, or by creating site-to-site VPN tunnels between the licensing server and client controllers. This step is not required, but if you do not create secure tunnels between the controllers, the controllers will exchange clear, unencrypted licensing information. This step is not required for a master-local topology.

Enabling Centralized Licensing

The following steps describe the procedure to enable centralized licensing on both the licensing master and the licensing clients.

Using the WebUI

1.

Access the WebUI of the primary licensing master controller, navigate to Configuration > Controller and select the Centralized Licenses tab.

2.

Select Enable Centralized Licensing.

3.

(Optional) If the licensing server already has a dedicated redundant standby controller, that standby controller will automatically become the backup license server. If the primary licensing server in your deployment does not have a dedicated, redundant master controller, but you want to define a backup server for the licensing feature, follow steps a-c below:

a.

In the VRRP ID field, enter the Virtual Router ID for the Virtual Router you configured in the Preconfiguration Setup task in the section above.

b.

In the Peer’s IP address field, enter the IP address of the backup licensing server.

c.

In the License Server IP field, enter the virtual IP address for the Virtual Router used for license server redundancy.

4.

Click Apply.

If you are deploying centralized licensing on a cluster of master controllers, you must define the IP address that the licensing clients in the cluster use to access the licensing server.

5.

Access the WebUI of a licensing client, navigate to Configuration > Controller and select the Centralized Licenses tab.

6.

Select Enable Centralized Licensing.

7.

In the License Server IP field, enter the IP address the client will use to connect to the licensing server. If you have defined a backup licensing server using a virtual router ID, enter the IP address of that virtual router.
